BEIJING – China tightened its accent after the Trump administration opened from the commercial tariffs.
“In the face of bullying work unilaterally, (China) will definitely take the necessary measures to protect its rights and interests,” a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce told reporters on Thursday.
She added that China will not raise commercial conflicts and has been ready to solve problems through discussions. Beijing previously confirmed the preparation of negotiation.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lynn Jian Strouk moved a similar mood on Wednesday.
He said, according to an official translation of the English translation: “China indicates firmly and opposing the US step to impose an additional 10 percent tariff on Chinese imports under the pretext of the Fintanel case.” “China’s measures are what is required to protect our legitimate rights and interests.”
CNBC has arrived at the US State Department to comment.
Official observations came a few days after the United States announced 10 % on Chinese commodities, to which the Chinese team took revenge on Tuesday with its duties of 15 % on the LNG and the specified products, starting from February 10.
The United States also stopped the so -called exemption, making it more expensive for traders in Chinese e -commerce to charge products directly to American consumers.
On Thursday, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce urged the United States to establish a “fair and predictable” environment for e -commerce across the border.
